Canon Q&A With Storytellers

[Mooncalf]

If it's more about spirit then genetics, then why would a condom help prevent vampire pregnancy?

Oh! And if it's not about genetics, does that mean two guys or two girls could end up having a baby?

It's hard to explain how it works in my head, and there's absolutely 0% science to be found in my explaination. Basically, the act of conceiving a fadebeast does require sperm and an egg, but seeing as a vampire's body isn't even really real, the creation of a fadebeast has more in common with the usual siring process than it does with normal conception.

Nothing about vampires makes sense if we compare it with science as we know it. As I said before, vampires in Path lore are more based on far-eastern myths, or very old European myths. To really get inside my head on the subject you should read classic Chinese novels about nature spirits, ancient Celtic myths, old poems such as Beowulf, or even Dracula, to some extent.

Hm.

Still wondering what the sports teams are called...haven't found an answer to that anywhere. (question 1)

Also wondering if you'd be opposed to a bunch of stories being posted on FanFiction.net of Path crossed with various shows, like NCIS, CSI, and, just for kicks, Grimm. I think that'd be freakishly hilarious, but I want your input. (question 2)

1) I think I might have decided on the hockey team name but I'm damned if I can remember. Anyone else remember?

2) No objection, but I'd appreciate a mention of Path of the Vampire if possible.

When I get around to it, it'll be in the summary.

The tomes, we seem to be having a debate.

How do you view the tomes?

Are they books as the word tome means, or are they electronic, simple pages, what is the physical description of these tomes?

Could be anything, depending on how you found them. Obviously the files you hack to get ritual information aren't transcribed on old pages.

David, question for you just because it doesn't specify on the wiki. The answer had been stated a year ago but it has been questioned again because of recent RP's so I would like a mod opinion...

The power of Seduction...it is only covered on the wiki as if it was only cast on a target by one person. The question is...if say for example, Lizzie was seduced by an allurist or anyone that has allurist powers. Could another allurist or anyone with allurist powers come and use seduction on Lizzie countering the original seduction? How should this technically be RP'd out?

I'm inclined to say yes, a second usage of Seduction replaces the first. But as for how it's roleplayed out, that's just up to you, because it's a minor thing.

What if a human has a medical condition, either physical (such as cancer) or mental (such as autism), and is sired? Are they cured of these ailments and all the relevant symptoms?

How does a vampire 'consume' a spirit not in the Shadow realm?

Well I would say it would depend a lot on the ailment, if the person was born with it and if it's a disease (which would be cured) or a genetic thing (which wouldn't be "cured" in most cases). It's also something I'll leave mostly up to the writer, but I will say that yes diseases and illnesses would be cured.
